Voicemail Settings

Table (Header Row) (Header Column)

Description
Time until mailbox picks upThis setting defines the number of seconds the system will wait before redirecting a call to a user’s mailbox when there’s been no pickup. This setting is only used when someone calls the mailbox directly and not as member of a ring group or call queue.
Maximum number of voicemailsThis setting determines the number of messages that can be stored in a user’s voicemail box.
Maximum voicemail durationThis setting specifies the length of a mailbox message. Typically, a mailbox message should be no longer than 2 minutes. For uncompressed audio, each minute takes up approximately 1 MB of space.
Minimum voicemail durationWhen a mailbox message is shorter than the selected duration, the system will automatically discard the message. This is useful when callers hangup right after the message beep tone.
Automatic voicemail deletionThis setting controls when messages are automatically deleted by the system. The deletion will occur when the mailbox of the user gets called up.
Mailbox explanation promptUsers who configure their extension to play a personalized message when callers reach their extension can activate this setting so that the system will deliver an explanatory message after the playback of the personalized recording. The explanatory message explains that the caller may now leave a message and informs the caller of any other options. For standard greetings, the system always explains the options.
